Testing does not need to be shown live on TV IMO. I would not waste money to buy Sky just for crappy testing hardly justify's the price of it. The youtube highlights covers anything interesting what has happened in the sessions.

So £22 for the basic package, 18 month minimum contract. Then £27 after that. £10 a month for two years of F1 on top. Total cost for 2 years, £798.

Makes it £19 a race (21 race seasons), just to watch the F1 on Sky if you didn't already have sky.

Progress!

Not saying that it's good or bad but incidentally £19 a race is approximately what F1 Digital + cost on Sky (£12 per weekend) back in 2002 accounting for inflation, of course later in the year they offered £50 season tickets for the last few races.

You can add the whole 8 channel sports package for £13 a month at the moment. (Normally £30 a month)

Call me a cheap-skate, but I'm not forking out £120 just for this. I'd cancel my Sky contract completely, except that they have us all by the balls because we have many hours of recorded material on the Sky+ which would be inaccessible if I cancelled. I'm still going to dump their broadband as, for the lowest level of service (was 5k with BE now less than 4k with Sky), it's now just a few quid less than the super-fast fibre deal from BT.

The thing I have learned from Sky is that they seem competitive, but they raise the prices by a huge percentage every year unless you complain.

This is the thing with the sky, there will always be annual increases so they get their money back from you in the end. Naturally you can play "the game" of threatening to leave each time your contract is up for a discount but its a losing battle longer term. £10 for f1 might be guaranteed for 2 years but the sky package price itself wont be, you can be sure of that.

Interesting that sky release this morning covers line up but no mention of Kravitz or Ant Davidson.

Jake Humphrey also mentioned whisper will have some big news on their c4 coverage soon...so we will see.
